Jack Slade was born during a solar eclipse in the year 1980. 18 years later, he finds out he has the ability to travel into the future. He projects himself into the year 2035, where society has been destroyed by a fascist regiment of psychopathic doctors that rule the wastelands, creating deformed mutants with a serum synthesized from the flesh of dead aliens. Now Slade must travel back to the year 1998 to destroy a device known as the wavelength generator, which opened the dimensional gateways to these alien beings. With the help of an army of female outlaws and a sleazy detective, Slade re-connects with the star child Khadijah, who holds the key to stopping these tragic events from ever taking place.

Jack Slade (Kyle Morris) is an S.E.K. (solar eclipse kid) who has the ability to randomly time warp between 1998 and 2035. Dr. Shector (Mark McGarrey) has transported an alien being to the earth and has created a toxic drug creating mutants. 2035 is a low budget "Mad Max" type of world which includes the Unit 5 Military Girls. Jack is on a quest to find Khadijah (Jamie Katonic) in order to stop this, but his quest is disjointed and haphazard for him as well as the viewer.The film uses a techno sound track. It is all over the place and confusing, recreating Jack's mind. It brings in new characters at random whose sole purpose appears to be introducing new characters.If this film was made in the 60's it would star Peter Fonda and would have deep philosophical meaning, like "Don't eat the brown acid." The production is cheesy by design. The sets and special effects were decent for an indie. This film is from the bizarre mind of Christopher James Miller writer and director who also gave himself a meaningless character role as "Tracker" someone who was supposed to follow our main character around, but then disappears from the script. The movie had repeated scenes of Jack's blind mother telling him her last remembered vision was that of a drip coming from a faucet. In a Peter Fonda film that would have been deep and meaningful, coming from C.J. Miller, not so. As Tom Hanks would say, "I don't get it."This is perhaps a new class of films which I will just call "Molly Movies."Parental Guide: F-bombs. Nudity (and not that pretty)
This movie is bad from beginning to end and it makes you wonder if a script was ever written for this piece of trash. It felt like some people got together on a Mad Max fan day and in a goofy mood decided to make a film.I made a mistake by not reading reviews before I watched this because if I had I would not have watched it in the first place.Besides having a F all story it adds nothing of cinematic interest and fails in every department.You could make an extensive list from all the movies they stole from but its ail so numbed down you just can't get excited about anything.Even on a rainy day or if your bored as hell don't waste your time or money on this obvious fluke.Forbidden dimensions is the first dimension into boredom.Proceed with caution and avoid this flick.Your better of doing ANYTHING else.ANYTHING!
The reviews that are good on here are obviously from people involved with this hot mess. Hot as in they need to just burn the film and forget it ever happened. The dead giveaway that these reviews are fake is the guy who said if you pirated the movie and gave it a bad review there is a special hell for you. LOL that cracked me up. Right? Only someone who made the movie would ever say something that lame. This looks like such a cheap piece of trash movie. Seriously just watch the trailers on youtube and that will kill any desire you may have to watch this mess. I love time travel movies and usually I can let a whole lot of bad slide by, but not this one. It reeks of cheapness. The cars, the "costumes" which look like they told the extras to dress in summer attire from the 80's. The acting is terrible. I guess Chris Miller the former child actor turned director was going for an 80's vibe because this statement is true. "Critical reviews from horror websites Cinemaglob, Dread Central and Horror News praised the film's 80's VHS style homages and psychedelic tone" I think the word may be critical as in crappy.
Got a chance to see this epic last night, and let me tell you it's an awesome flick. It has everything a low budget horror film needs to make me happy: Gore, nudity, and insanity. The best way to describe this movie is Max Headroom on crack. Every scene is packed with pure absurdism and oddball characters and for you movie buffs out there, there's a kitchen sink approach to homages. You'll notice references to Mad Max, Terminator, Brazil, 1984, Total Recall, Jacob's Ladder and Westworld. As a fan of Astron 6, I can dig the 80's style that this movie was trying to re-create. Unlike the Astron 6 films it's hard to figure out if this is a parody or a straight attempt to make a serious film. The plot revolves around a time traveler who's trying to alter the future by meeting up with a "star child" who has unexplained superpowers and a crazy scientist hellbent on destroying the world. I think it fits a niche audience and for cinephiles (like myself) this is a tour de force of psychotronic filmmaking.
